Alwaght- A high ranking commander of the ISIS Takifir terrorist group in Yemen, Abu Ayyoub Al Ansari, as well as the ISIS cleric known as Abu Hemma, were killed on Tuesday during a major army operation south of Yemen.
The Yemeni army and Popular Committees managed to carry out a succeeding military operation in the province of Taiz, south of capital Sana’a, during which Ansari and Abu Hemma were killed, a military source in Yemen said.
"The missile and artillery units in the army and Popular Committees fired missiles at assembly points of the aggression mercenaries and invaders in the southern village of Thobab city, killing and wounding a large number of them, including elements of the most ISII wanted commanders," he said.
The source pointed out that "a US helicopter tried to rescue Ansari, but to no avail," pointing out that "Abu Hemma has issued execution sentences against prisoners who were executed by ISIS terrorists in the southern provinces. "
The source also praised the "qualitative operation carried out by the army and the heroes of the Popular Committees in the framework of the duties assigned to them in dealing with al-Qaeda, ISIL and aggression mercenaries and invaders and so the world would get rid of their evil."
Moreover, the source hailed the achievements by the army and Popular Committees in defeating al-Qaeda and Saudi aggression mercenaries to cleanse the nation and prevent terrorism risks. ISIS terrorists have been collaborating with the Saudi-led aggressors against Yemen.
